Family Name: The surname 毛 (Máo) originates from the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 BCE). It is said to have descended from Prince Shu Zheng, the eighth son of King Wen of Zhou, who was granted the fief of Mao (modern-day Yiyang, Henan). The descendants adopted the surname 毛 based on the fief name. Another theory suggests it traces back to the descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan (Yellow Emperor), specifically a branch of Emperor Zhuanxu's lineage who took 毛 as their surname.
Given Name: Ma, derived from gemstones, symbolizes preciousness and beauty; Ting, meaning court or nobility, conveys dignity and authority.
